Help on a direction

[wackwagon]

I've been playing the game from i think the very beginning but not very actively, though i have like 2000+ hours in.

I have unlocked the Warlock SpellBook multiple times, but i don't do much with it, i usually pick Swamp-energy circle- Red flower and then Skull and Scales on the second page. I make runs of 48 hours, but the game stays open all the time, i just drop in sometimes and use my energy for crystal 2-3. I do not have mushrooms unlocked.

Demons: A11, B4, C5, D6, Runes1, E7, F1, G2, H3, HoF1, J1, K3, L2, M1, CEO- not unlocked
Souls: A4, B3, C2, D1, F1, J1,

In HoF. challenge 1 4/5, Challenge 2&3 completed.

I think i have 12 gears in the Souls boiler 1, and 11 gears in the Demons boiler 1.

I would like, if anyone could give me a few tips on a track of what to unlock and which direction to go to progress further into the game

So, one major thing is getting enough waste to not need Swamp Ritual, which is 3 million Waste, so you're probably there.

Once you can pay the entire cost of the Mavka to get to Dagon, then Swamp Ritual is useless. (Make sure you only spend enough Waste to get enough Mavka for 1 Dagon, then only spend Waste on more Dagon)

I wouldn't recommend taking Red Flower if you've already got 2 levels in K. x10 at all levels isn't as worthwhile as Unholy Alliance or Summoning the Undead. More Undead = More Demons.

So, if you're doing a run for Obelisk or Boiler, I think the ideal setup (assuming you have over 3 million Waste, which you can get on an Obelisk if you have 2 levels in Undead Contract O and the Mushroom farm) is Energy Circle, Summoning the Undead, and Unholy Alliance. This should give you much more prestige on a reset, which advances things much faster.

The next major step is getting to 75 Magic Powder to do the Drowner Prestige. To do this, you need as much Waste as you can get, and enough Dark Mana to unlock Warlocks. The biggest thing is replacing Summoning the Undead or Unholy Alliance in your standard spell list with Ark of the Drowned, which will double the Magic Powder you get from recycling Raw Mana.

I would recommend getting the Mushroom farm, then getting two levels in Undead Contract O, then doing a run with Ark of the Drowned and see if that gets you there. If it doesn't, you need more Waste.

I'd recommend you don't spread Gears between two different Prestige machines- put as much as you want to on one, then focus on runs with that for a bit until you've gotten enough contracts that you want to switch to another.

If you're on a run where you're using Ark of the Drowned, don't recycle any Raw Mana until after you get it- this will give you a bit more Waste, as the x100 effect doesn't apply retroactively, though the x2 Magic Powder does.

I hope that made sense.

@Mopman, wow sounds like a super good plan, thank you, will do and come back to say if it worked... i do make like 20M waste on a demon restart soo ) (also i am not upset to buy gears so i can fill from there)

I will probably manage today to get the magic powder reset as I am at 73 magic powder. Could you tell me what I should invest in next and a few more steps please?
